Windows 7: Can I fit my external drive internally?

I have a 1GB Samsung Story External USB 2.0 hard drive. The drive performs well, but isnít really as fast as my internal hard drives. What I was wondering was, Now that I have a spare hard drive bay inside my case, could I remove the Samsung from itís external enclosure and fit it inside my case?

I know this will invalidate the warrantee, but Iím getting tired of the slow spin-up speed and the flashing light on the front of the drive. Is there an ordinary SATA hard drive inside the enclosure or does it have Ďspecialí connections and can only be used via USB.

Once you open the external drive you will see that it is a regular hard drive that is plugged into a CKT board, hopefully one that is a sata and not ide. Read the sticker on the drive to see if it is a sata 1 or sata 2. Eitehr one will just plug into the regular sata ports. If they short changed you and used an ide or sata 1 then I would not plug it as as this may default your currents drives to a slower speed.
